Foot in a cast :(

This is a little off topic, but I have been suffering from a foot ache for a little less than a year. My first doctor thought it was a tendinitis and gave me 3 shots of cortisone, last september. This month, after a couple of visits to a new doctor, an IRM and a Scan, it turns out it's an oedema with an inflammation of the ligaments (for those of you not in depth with medical terms, a ligament is the connective tissue that fixes 2 bones together in an articulation).

Anyway, no drugs could relieve the pain, so the only solution (besides wearing an arche for 6 months) was to cast my foot for 3 weeks.

Now i'm stuck at home (well, I was originally stuck at home, since I have my finals starting this friday) but I'm more stuck now, with a right foot in a cast, an awfully hot weather, and my toes showing (which I hate btw). Pic taken with the 3250 in poor lighting conditions.

Cast

They threw in one sort-of-open-blue-shoe (not in the pic) that I wear when on the move, cuz apparently I can't walk on the cast itself.

I'm stuck like this till Tuesday the 26th. Man, I hate it already!

[this is good]

oh so sad :( hope you will get well soon ! take care!

I think I have the same thing in my left foot, it's been aching for over 6 months now. But I'm on vacation now and wont go to the doctor until my last week of vacation for obvious reasons.. ;)

Oh No ! Blimey what do you do when you get on of those itches on your foot. You know the ones that you have to scratch! If you need one I will send a knitting needle ( If I can find one :o) )

Well, I had an itch yesterday and it was CRUEL to deal with, it took a lot of mental strength to get over it. It was in the middle part of the cast, around the ankle, so I couldn't access it neither from the upper side nor from the lower side...
